Frequently asked questions
What is N gest 200mg Capsule?
N gest 200mg Capsule is a form of progesterone, derived from plants, designed with properties similar to human progesterone. This medication undergoes micronization, which reduces the particle size of natural progesterone. The smaller particles enhance dissolution and absorption, leading to better availability within the body and decreased side effects.
What is N gest 200mg Capsule used for?
N gest 200mg Capsule is used to treat various conditions. It's prescribed for women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (irregular periods lasting for three months or longer), pregnancy support, and preventing premature labor. Additionally, it can be used as part of fertility treatments and after menopause as hormone replacement therapy. It may also be used for managing premenstrual syndrome symptoms and painful bleeding related to dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take N gest 200mg Capsule every day?
Yes, N gest 200mg Capsule can be taken daily. It is typically prescribed once per day in the evening or at bedtime. The duration of prescription may vary from 10 to 12 days per month to 25 days per month. Your doctor will determine the appropriate number of days for your individual needs, considering your health condition.
Does N gest 200mg Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking N gest 200mg Capsule may lead to weight gain. This is likely due to fluid retention and not necessarily a serious concern. However, if you're experiencing significant weight gain, it's important to contact your doctor for further assessment.
Is N gest 200mg Capsule safe?
N gest 200mg Capsule is generally considered safer compared to synthetic progesterone due to its reduced particle size. This facilitates easier body absorption and minimizes side effects such as fluid retention, HDL cholesterol level reduction, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a critical role in both fertility and pregnancy. It's produced by the ovaries and prepares the uterus for implantation.
